Minions & Monsters will begin streaming exclusively on Peacock this coming October.

“Minions & Monsters” will begin streaming exclusively on Peacock on October 28, following its theatrical release in July. Set in 1920s Hollywood, the film follows the Minions as they pursue movie stardom, accidentally unleash monsters and try to save the world from the resulting chaos. Pierre Coffin and Patrick Delage directed, with voice performances from Allison Janney, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, Zoey Deutch, Trey Parker and others. Peacock will also offer behind-the-scenes features and activities, along with “Minions,” “Despicable Me” and “Despicable Me 2.”
The film’s 1920s Hollywood setting includes the transition to sound movies: the Minions discover that audiences cannot understand their Minionese, a complication that helps spark the ensuing chaos.
The film features movie pioneer George Lucas, and nods to Hollywood classics including “Citizen Kane” and “The Blob”; one scene uses names of famous directors for the Minions, including Federico Fellini and Erich von Stroheim.
Peacock’s bonus material includes “Hollywood Sound,” which follows composer John Powell as he creates a score inspired by the sweeping sound and style of Hollywood’s golden age.
The film is rated PG for violence and action, language, and rude or macabre humor.
Pierre Coffin has said Minionese draws on languages and dialects including Japanese, Filipino, Korean, Hindi, German and Indonesian.
